For accessing Amahi shared folders/files on a Mac OS X computer, you use the Finder. Select the Go menu, then:

  • Connect to Server (Apple-K shortcut).
    • Enter the Server Address: smb:// user @hda/Movies with your samba username instead of <user>
    • Press the "+" sign beside the Server Address line, so the connection is saved as a favorite.
    • Click Connect.
  • Complete the SMB/CIFS File System Authentication form:
    • Domain: HDA
    • Name: <your HDA username>
    • Password: <your HDA user password>
    • You may want to check the Remember this password in my keychain so you can auto-connect in the future.
  • Enjoy, the mounted drive should appear now in the Finder and be available at /Volumes/Movies on your local system.

You can connect to all the HDA shares, like //hda/Docs or //hda/Music, or as many as you have shares.

If your Mac OS X user matches the Samba user, you can eliminate <user>@ above

To set your system to auto-connect at login or startup, see this great intro article.
